You're giving the op an opportunity to dodge the question. Let's keep to that.

I requested the thread split after r suggested it. As far as I'm concerned the discussion just grew. I got the impression the the op wasn't new here, from the thread title, which is why I was more willing to engage.

Who's "presumptuous" now?

I didn't dodge anything, your whole argument in this introduction thread is asinine. If you shift the burden of proof onto me in your first reply, then you are obviously a religious person. Do you have to say it directly? You did acknowledge later than you were Christian. It was in your custom title that you were Christian, until you changed it. And why would you claim it's my burden of proof? If you knew where the burden of proof rests you wouldn't show your "ignorance" on the topic.

This was done yesterday. It's just getting tiresome with you. Don't bother splitting this thread, there's nothing more to talk about with you.

I didn't say you had dodged, I said that you were being given an opportunity to.

I didn't try to shift the burden of proof, you misread.

no religion has met their burden of proof

You mean YOUR burden of proof

I explained this in very few words above so that you might see it. Once more: i said "your burden", meaning the burden you think exists, but doesn't....

I, and all Christians I know of, don't claim that an empirically proven God exists.

You say we carry a burden of proof to prove our claim that God exists, yet I can find no one in my religion that makes that claim.
